Re: Cruiser engine makes ticking sound
I was waiting to see if one of the mechanics on the forum would help you but so far nobody has showed up.
Our engines are DOHC (Dual Overhead Cam). Most noise like your describing is from the lifters, but our engines don't have any.
The only other thing I can think of that "ticks" are the injectors. Why the noise would go away and why rain would affect the sound, I don't know.
If you do a Google search on "fuel injector ticking" you see hundreds of owners of all kinds of cars asking about it.
